DLA finally through for DD2 at high rate care (too young for mobility). I was so shocked I rang DLA to double check they had got it right as didnt want an overpayment! lady was rather surprised i had rung and said they didnt get many callers querying the amount! lol. Silly me! Said its because of her night time needs and the statement the CDC wrote on form - maybe now i can afford a carer to watch her once in a while so me and hubby can go out - not been out for 19 months since DD2 was born!

Brilliant!

Make sure that you let HMRC / tax credits know that you have been awarded this as you will get an extra allowance which they will backdate to the date of the start date of the DLA.

here

Around £73 p.w for the higher rate but if you also claim Carers it will be adjusted.

Yes, don't forget to claim Carer's allowance. Automatic with middle or higher rate care component. You have to earn less than £95 per week. (Damn shame I earn £105!)
